Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

market-research-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/build_market_research_report.py, scripts/validate_market_research_report.py, scripts/validate_research_record.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Market Research Workflow

Mandatory first response

On every new invocation, first call the sam-gov server's get_access_status operation. This presence-only status call is the only MCP call permitted before the menu and must not make an upstream request or reveal a credential value.

If status is missing_required, output this warning before the menu:

Data access readiness
- SAM.gov: SAM_API_KEY is not configured. It is required for SAM.gov entity, exclusion, opportunity, award, hierarchy, and subaward work. Other keyless research routes remain available.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

If the status operation is absent, output this warning instead:

Data access readiness
- SAM.gov: Readiness could not be checked because get_access_status is missing. The SAM.gov MCP package or shared 1102tools host profile is outdated or incomplete. Update the installation, restart the client, and try again.
- Setup: https://1102tools.com/setup#credentials

For configured_unverified, do not claim that the key is valid and do not add a warning. After any required readiness warning, output exactly this six-choice block. Do not summarize it, rename options, omit an option, or use an alternate condensed menu. A summarized, renamed, reordered, condensed, or incomplete menu is invalid.

What would you like to do?

1. Conduct quick market research and show the findings in chat
2. Build a complete FAR Part 10 market research report
3. Refresh or revise an existing market research report
4. Analyze one acquisition question or decision area
5. Prepare market-research findings for the Pre-Award Agent
6. Help me choose

When the opening request clearly maps to one choice, append (Recommended) to that choice only. End with exactly:

Which option would you like? You can reply with the number, label, or your own wording.

Then stop. The later Stage 1 section repeats this same canonical block as the workflow specification; it is not a different menu.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
